Swarovski 1088/S XIRIUS Chaton Standard Setting is beautifully designed to provide a secure grip on the crystal by enclosing them with prongs, rather than with glue. There are two versions: 00 C is unplated, with no holes and a closed back, and perfectly suited to soldering and post-plating when making jewelry. H2 O is either unplated, gold plated or rhodium plated, and it has two parallel holes through the sides and an open back, and it’s primarily used for sewing. Ordering is straightforward, as it has the same article number as its corresponding Round Stone: just add “/S” at the end of the product number.

Allium Blue also offers alternative chanton prong settings in unplated brass, silver, gold, steel, and gun metal platings for use with Swarovski 1088 XIRIUS and 1028 XILION chaton. If you do not have the time to set hundreds or even thousands pieces of chaton to settings, Allium Blue offers settings service and is unique among Swarovski distributors. Simply order the Chaton with the "settings attached" option selected.
